Sharding strategies: lookup-based, range-based, and hash-based
Learn about three differe types of sharding: lookup or directly-based, range-based, and hash-based. I also sit down with with Jonah Berquist from PlanetScale's Solutions Engineering team to ask him some questions about sharding in practice.
